Deadlock at Pindarus: Session Postponed Regarding Limassol Ballot

The leadership of the Democratic Rally (DISY) is in a deadlock regarding the case of MP Nikos Sykas, who was accused of assault. Despite the withdrawal of the complaint by the woman who accused him, the Legal Service filed a request to the Supreme Court to lift his parliamentary immunity, putting the party in a difficult position. The continued delay and numerous meetings with lawyers indicate the leadership of DISY's inability to effectively manage even internal issues. The postponement of the Political Bureau meeting until January 12, the date of the hearing, reflects a lack of strategy and an inability to predict developments. The uncertainty about the outcome of the case jeopardizes DISY's image as a serious political force. In addition, the possibility of legal action by Sykas himself further complicates the situation. Internal reactions in Limassol highlight the instability and lack of organization within the party leadership. This case highlights the difficulties faced by DISY in crisis management and the need to strengthen internal cohesion and effective decision-making.
